In a release dated Dec. 17, the Company said that the distributor plans to increase reseller education in 2013 via live, traveling and streamed trainings, many based on the new Microsoft Windows 8 and Server 2012 lines.

"We're optimistic about 2013," said Dan Schwab, co-president at D&H Distributing. "In a new year, the trepidation that is typically associated with an election year can be set aside, and companies can forge forward with their growth strategies. Through it all, D&H looks forward to supporting its resellers."
D&H has already witnessed the initial influence of Windows 8, as it ushers-in a host of Windows 8-based devices including Ultrabooks, notebooks, All-in-One PCs, tablets and hybrid units from vendors such as Acer, ASUS, HP, Lenovo, Samsung and Toshiba.

D&H is offering three Windows 8/Server 2012 regional Boot Camp sessions that will allow groups of customers in different locales to get an in-person look at the new OS, to help their customers make a smooth transition. This year will also feature new training formats in the company's Solutions Lab.

Scheduled Q1 offerings include a Windows 8 and Office 2013 event, plus a Server 2012 webcast, both sponsored by Microsoft and Intel.
